She goes above and beyond to help… She not only taught me how to be successful in writing well-organized essays, but how to create a unique voice in my writing. Her constructive criticism and guidance enabled me to write an outstanding college application essay and be accepted to prestigious universities such as Wake Forest University and UNC Chapel Hill.Andrew (Wake Forest)

What made a difference …was how she explained that it really has to be a snapshot of my true self. Everything else in the application will reflect the academic and extracurricular achievements, but the college essay is the one moment students can express what they are passionate about, what is unique about them…I came out of her revision process with an essay that I sent to six schools, all accepted me.Kat (Harvard)

I wouldn’t be in the Meyerhoff program without the essay she helped me revise.Samantha (UMBC, full scholarship)

Without her help on my college essay, I would not have been accepted to Georgetown. She would not give up until the essay was an accurate representation of me—she was able to help me bring out my best qualities on paper without changing my voice as a writer.Gianna (Georgetown)

She helped me uncover the topic I was passionate enough to write about. She helped me break the process down, piece by piece, so we could make the final essay the best that it could be.Lauren (University of Delaware, Honors Program)

Ms. Mauer has helped me to develop a keen sense of proofreading for the smallest grammatical errors and semantic errors when I am reviewing my work. This particular skill has helped me as I make my way through college English classes; it is also one of the main reasons I succeeded in writing college essays as a high school senior.Tara (Rutgers)
